[A/n: Idk if it was easy to pick up or not, but I'll quickly explain; "Bang!" essentially means their attacks met like sword vs sword, and "Shing!" means an attack landed and someone took damage from a bladed weapon, and "Boom!" is from an element :)]
[I'll also add this for now on when I use — that means Xander was the one who took damage, so "Shing!—" means Xander took damage, and "Shing!" means Xander dished out the damage. Please comment if this is helpful or not.]
Xander charged forward toward the red-feathered raptor with his blade in front of him, his sword dao coating his blade.
As he reached a 10-meter distance, he phased into the mirage realm and teleported to its back left side.
"Shing!" "SKREEEEECH!" Xander phased into reality and sliced with his blade, cutting one of the beast's two legs clean off.
